If you are anything like us you’ve probably already created a Pinterest board or two (or ten) for your upcoming wedding. But how can you use this popular platform to its fullest potential? Here are a few tips to help you get the most out of Pinterest for your wedding planning.
1. Get Inspired
Pinterest is the perfect place to find inspiration for your wedding. Whether you’re looking for color palettes, flower arrangements, or dress styles, you can find endless ideas on Pinterest. Start by creating a board for each aspect of your wedding that you want to focus on, and then start searching for ideas that you love. Don’t worry about making everything match perfectly at this point; just focus on finding things that you like and that make you happy.
2. Organize Your Ideas
Once you’ve found a bunch of ideas that you love, it’s time to start organizing them. One of the best things about Pinterest is that you can create as many boards as you need, so take advantage of this feature. Create boards for different aspects of your wedding, such as the ceremony, the reception, the bridal party, and so on. You can also create boards for specific ideas, such as “styling ideas” or “wedding hairstyles.”
3. Collaborate With Others
If you’re planning your wedding with a partner or a wedding planner, Pinterest can be a great tool for collaborating. You can create boards that are shared with other people, so everyone can contribute their ideas. This is a great way to make sure that everyone’s ideas are heard and to come up with a cohesive plan for your wedding.
4. Use Pinterest To Find Vendors
Pinterest is also a great place to find vendors for your wedding. You can search for local vendors, such as florists, photographers, and caterers, and save their contact information to your boards. This makes it easy to keep track of all the vendors you’re considering and to compare their services and prices.
5. Cull Your Board
Be sure to cull your Pinterest board to keep it relevant and up-to-date with the vibe and style of your wedding. When sharing with your stylist or florist this means that you will always be showing them the most current look you are after and any outdated content can be deleted or removed to keep it all fresh!
6. Don’t Get Overwhelmed
With so many ideas on Pinterest, it’s easy to get overwhelmed. Remember that you don’t have to include everything that you see on Pinterest in your wedding. Focus on the ideas that you love the most, and that fit with your overall vision for your wedding. And don’t be afraid to take a break from Pinterest if you need to; sometimes it’s best to step away and come back with fresh eyes.
Pinterest can be an incredibly useful tool for wedding planning! It’s a great place to find inspiration, organize your ideas, collaborate with others, find vendors, and more. Just remember to use it wisely, and to stay focused on what’s most important to you. With a little help from Pinterest, you can create the wedding of your dreams!
